Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 - what should it have been named?

I seem to remember discussion a few months ago about naming this game. What did people think it should have been called? It’s not a very catchy name after all and apart from saying what it intends to do “on the tin”, doesn’t really grab me now I have really got to experience the product…

TBH, it matches the rest of Microsoft’s product naming pattern… :stuck_out_tongue:

Like Office365, Excel, Word, PowerPoint?

Well it’s not called Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 for one thing… :wink:

Right, it’s “Flight Simulator” not “Flight Simulator 2020”. No one wants to remember this abomination of a year, but that was a good move on their part. This is a platform for the next decade, not a version tied to one year that’s going to see an incremental upgrade with another whole version in two years. The FS98, FS2000, FS2002, FS2004… days are over.

Of course, Microsoft Flight Simulator would be the appropriate choice and is what they named it.

They could have called it FSXX, or if they followed the naming trend of products..they just needed to add a “pro” to the title…

FSX pro
Pro Microsoft Flight
Pro Microsoft FlightSim

Pro makes it better…

Microsoft World Simulator. It’s false advertising to put anything to do with flying in there when the planes don’t work.

You are SO right! That would have eliminated all the complaints! We would have known what to expect.
